===================================
Library
-------
+ - Issue #1436 identified a problem with the H5_VERS_RELEASE check in the
+ H5check_version function.
+
+ Investigating the original fix, #812, we discovered some inconsistencies
+ with a new block added to check H5_VERS_RELEASE for incompatibilities.
+ This new block was not using the new warning text dealing with the
+ H5_VERS_RELEASE check and would cause the warning to be duplicated.
+
+ By removing the H5_VERS_RELEASE argument in the first check for
+ H5_VERS_MAJOR and H5_VERS_MINOR, the second check would only check
+ the H5_VERS_RELEASE for incompatible release versions. This adheres
+ to the statement that except for the develop branch, all release versions
+ in a major.minor maintenance branch should be compatible. The prerequisite
+ is that an application will not use any APIs not present in all release versions.
